I met Chad and James Hampton when I taught at North Branch High School. One of them was my student, but because they are twins, I can't remember who was in my English class, and neither can they! Now they are both pastors at Spring of Life Church in Mayville, Michigan. They've also written books, one aimed at teens called "A Chase After the Wind". It explains that a life in pursuit of money, fame, material possessions, and all the other seeming priorities in our culture today ends in meaninglessness: a chase after wind. Instead, loving God is our meaning.
"We who were made out of the very force of His love are incomplete without it. That's why so many people are searching for something to fill the emptiness inside . . . something they just can't find. They're looking in the wrong places! The emptiness can only be filled with the thing that was meant to fill it . . . the Love of God."

Our good friend Greg Kelley, who worked with my husband at State Farm, is now the executive director at World Mission. Its goal is to provide education about the Word of
God along with missionary support and training to “unreached” people
groups worldwide. Its vision is to distribute the Word of God in an audio format to
every illiterate people group using The Treasure, a digital audio
player specifically designed for use in remote locations.
Each Treasure unit it distributes will be used in a group listening
environment of 12-20 people, most of who are illiterate or functionally
illiterate. World Mission’s national partners organize the listening
groups and designate a group facilitator so that people can have their
questions answered and can build relationships with Christian leaders.

Subject: Audio Bible in action at Odziba.Dear brother Kelley,
Greetings from Brazzaville,
After two years of audio Bible ministry in one of
the regions of Northern Congo. We were able this
Christmas season to baptize 18 individuals from 12
different villages that comes from 12 to 82 km by
foot. These are areas that had been very difficult for
the first missionaries up to today because of the
traditional believes paganism of the people,diffucult
roads and communications, ect. The audio Bibles had
been with them all this time speaking to different
families and communities. By the help of the Holy
spirit the results are coming. We wait eagerly for the new tool " The Treasure" The harvest is great.We baptized these people under difficult conditions for the areas have no water and we have to store rain water in a plastic bag for water baptism. Our local team sends you greetings and the family.
God bless you.
Justin.
